Consequently, they gave the suppliers an expected volume of 30-50k, not 80-100k, and they didn't add another shift at the plant to produce the cars, and so on. Looks like they did pretty well in their estimate for their product, as did GM. But if they made a car with more mass appeal, it would sell better. They didn't, and it doesn't.

Ya I agree with this. Maybe we were on the same page and I misunderstood. I just don't think you can take the <2000 sales months as an indicator of Challenger popularity because they did have plant issues. It seems between 2500-3000 is pretty honest and accurate demand.
